However, with that sort of instinct which preserves somnambulists he crossed the river, took the Rue du Bac, then the Rue du Regard and thus managed to reach the house of Mme. de Lezardiere, near the Barriere du Maine.

"After your dinner; from five to half-past five. You remember the address?" "Yes; Rue du Bac, 110. I will be there, monsieur." "Now," said D'Harmental, "au revoir! And you, mademoiselle," said he, turning to Bathilde, "receive my thanks for your kindness in keeping me company while I waited for M. Buvat a kindness for which I shall be eternally grateful."
